Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Come Now Alex what kind of a group would this be if a person isn't allowed to speak his or her mind with these types of subjects. It isn't my Ice rink it is ours, and though yes I set some of the parameters it isn't a group without people. People have differing opinions and so I will respond to your welcome opinions and they are indeed welcome. I will separate with @@ please see below - Dharma Wayfarer <dharmawayfarer wrote: On 'thin ice' advice - well .. I'm likely treading otheon rs' tolerance for treading without skates on another's rink ... but from all that i 'know' and from where 'I'm at' ... I wince at the seeming easy sharing and exhaltation of eye/mind candy ... " astral projection soul recovery, bi-location, telepathy and all the other 'exalted' skills one passes through on the way towards the enlightenment " @@ These I have found in my experience to be easy. These are not struggle oriented abilities. No amount of sweat and effort is going to help a person astral project, for example. Or is the mention of these skills that is out of sync? Yes these skills are mentioned in the context of ego. The little I. We as a society here in the West and else ware do communicate from this platform. For me when the Kundalini came up it magnified natural abilities far beyond what was normally expressed. Though not all will have similar experience some may have more and in the context of the Kundalini it is I feel appropriate to mention these inside a platform that is easily understood. These skills exalted or not exist and therefore should, imho, be mentioned.@@ .... each of which, due to predictable grasping mind read unrealized/unripened ego-identified self who 'possesses' sidhis and feels oh so subtly still that there's an 'I' who is the possessor', are enough to forestall lifetimes of true advances towards dissolution of the 'self' and realization of the 'Self' and the 'enlightenment', never mind the ascension which comes only at the perfectionment of the light body. @@Well Alex in that scenario then even the " Idea " of enlightenment would only be reserved for those who have attained a certain degree of self immolation before they could even approach these areas. And it is only in the ignorant usage of these Siddhis are the persons experience retrograde. The idea that the " common person " is unable to make the jump from ego mind to God mind (read non-dual) is not born out by my experience. The " all that is " is around us always and it also will have an affect upon that common ignorant person when their Kundalini is raised. Change inside and out happens. Yes there are traps and pitfalls and yes their will be some who will make grave errors by giving in to fear and insecurities. Meditating under a tree can also cause one to be crushed by a tree limb so where is there no danger of abuse in the physical world? The spiritual realms have their dangers to. Where do you suggest a person begin to reach for enlightenment after how many lifetimes does this begin to be ok? @@ There are many 'guides' who may present themselves to the honest wayfarer, and many are well-intended, but they cannot lead beyond where they themselves are at (physician heal thyself - there's reasons why a 'human birth' is considered a most precious thing ... why do you think 'they' hang around looking to make connections with 'us'?. Most of the astral travel, psychic circus experience people are first opened to .. is just that .. the psychic/astral circus ... where the potential for soul entrapment is high .. because those whose non-embodied consciousnesses dwell there have access to information/data that those who are physically embodied (and mostly linearly enabled, within this dimension/realm) do not. It is very easy to be 'seduced' by the seeming knowledge and oft' times flattery of those 'beyond' ... but they are not realized, enlightened, or guided by the 'Divine' @@ Well we certainly agree on this point.Yes not all that is astral is true or false. We must use discernment. Which we must use here as well it is no different. As above so below. A baby is easy to seduce and so are those who adventure into the unknown. I am not suggesting that they do. There is guidance for people, you have yours and I have mine. This is a fact as I see it. I have seen my guidance as I am sure you have seen and do see yours at this very moment. Allowing one to know of these areas isn't inviting them to become a meal. The dispersal of knowledge with specific warnings is part of what helps forge the path that very few know of. I do not feel that the path towards enlightenment is meant to be hidden. This is the real mistake that will send folks back lifetimes. Having been given the knowledge and not helping others to receive it as well. This is what the religions have done the priests who would hold these gifts over the heads of others to imbue themselves with a power that " only they " could have and wield and this is not true. This is the mistake, and I would have Kundalini taught in kindergarten if I could. Guidance and entities are par for the course here and to know this isn't to succumb to lies and falsehoods told to people in order to feed the ego, which please forgive me, I feel happens to many in the Reiki practice and the medium ship practices, the channeling practices, all these are all fraught with half truths , there to be swallowed whole by a hungry audience yearning for the return of a loved one recently passed or otherwise. I do not advocate this. And your statements confirm you do not as well.@@ .... often if one 'Challenges' them, in the name of the I AM THAT I AM ... these 'entities/spirit guides' will simply vanish .. they can't stand the 'heat' of the Light when it is invoked, as they are not of the Celestial realm wherein dwells the First Logos @@ There you have offered a teaching and a good one imho @@ .. So, yes, consider invoking first and foremost the presence of your higher self, Your IAM Presence, or the Greater Self, that awaits union with you, ... call for your guardian angels ... and with their protection, be open to spirit guides who may present as your helpers ... but feel free to challenge them (as you should) and their presence ... before you accept them, and challenge again and again as needed, as if they are of the Light, they will not be offended. @@ Again we agree I would add " as you must " in regards to the challenges. It is one of the ways we have to practice discernment. And I would add that if anything feels or appears to be false then stop and question them again and accept no equivocation @@ Well .. I think I heard 'half time' being whistled by the referee ... so I'll skate off to the locker room. @@ blessings Alex and no worries about skating anywhere you want around here OK?- chrism@@ Metta Alex How low will we go?
